About Jonathan
Jonathan Kurta is a partner at Fitapelli | Kurta and a lawyer admitted to practice in New York and New Jersey. He blends academic training in politics and psychology with legal training from Hofstra to handle complex disputes. He lives professionally at the intersection of litigation and client advocacy.
He began his academic journey at New York University, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Psychology. He then attended the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University, where he completed his Juris Doctor. That combination of undergraduate disciplines and legal study informs the way he examines cases and evaluates witness testimony.
Kurta built his practice in the Northeast. Over time he joined Fitapelli | Kurta and rose to partner. The firm environment has him regularly collaborating with other litigators on high-stakes matters. His work involves drafting pleadings, conducting discovery, and arguing on behalf of clients in administrative and arbitration settings.
He is a member of the New York City Bar Association and the Public Investors Arbitration Bar Association. Those memberships reflect an engagement with professional networks that deal with securities and arbitration issues, and they give him access to developments in practice and procedure. He participates in association activities and uses that perspective when preparing cases.
Court and arbitration dockets require both careful legal analysis and strategic decision-making. Kurta’s approach combines investigation of the facts with attention to procedural detail. He prepares cases for hearing, examines documents for inconsistencies, and frames legal arguments aimed at protecting client interests. He works across state lines, handling matters in both New York and New Jersey.
Outside the courtroom he spends time reviewing legal developments and coordinating with colleagues on complex files. He also contributes to the operational side of running a litigation practice as a partner. Clients and colleagues find value in his measured preparation and steady courtroom presence.
As of 2026 he continues to serve as a partner at Fitapelli | Kurta, representing clients in securities-related disputes and arbitration matters. His current practice centers on investor claims and defensive work in arbitration and related proceedings.
